Today's Scriptures are Psalm 119:11; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; and Joshua 1:8. It is clear from these verses that there is great inherent value in keeping the Scriptures in my heart and meditating on them daily. If I do this consistently I will be able to navigate life effectively.
I think that God is really working in my life. I need to be able to listen to Him. I need to keep myself from being distracted by the stuff of this world. I know that Joshua 1:8 speaks of prospering and being successful if I "do not let the book of the law depart from my mouth," but I am not interested in success, honestly. I just want to know God better than I do right now. Maybe that is success.
Success isn't accolades and bigger churches or more notoriety...it is being closer to my heavenly Father than I have ever been before in my life. I'll take that over a mega-church any day! I want that kind of success.
"Help me to learn to trust, read and breathe your Words, Father. Help them to be the only well that I drink from. Help me to draw from them in my time of trouble or temptation. Give me strength this day to glorify you in all ways. In Jesus' Name."
